The magnetic piece 102 refers to any magnet or metal that can attract magnets such as ferrite magnets, aluminum-nickel-cobalt alloy magnets, rare earth magnets or the like.

Preferably, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 9, the magnetic piece 102 is adapted to the shape of the groove 1011, and the magnetic piece 102 is an annular magnet which is arranged in the groove 1011. The magnet piece is attached to the back cover of the electronic device via a magnet, and the electronic device may be mobile phones and tablet computers or the like. When the back cover of the electronic device cannot be adsorbed, an iron sheet or the like may be attached to the back cover of the electronic device, and then the back cover can be adsorbed by the magnetic piece 102.

Preferably, as shown in FIG. 4, the connecting assembly 20 includes a connecting main member 201, and the connecting main member 201 includes a main part 2011, a first connecting part 2012 extending outwards from the center of the main part 2011, and a second connecting part 2013 penetrating through the main part 2011 radially, wherein the first connecting part 2012 is used to rotatably connect the mounting piece 101 and the second connecting part 2013 is used to be hinged with the support 30.

Preferably, as shown in FIG. 5, the first connecting part 2012 is a ring-shaped protrusion, and the first connecting part 2012 penetrates into the adapter part 1012 of the mounting plate and is rotatably connected with the mounting piece 101. In this way, the connecting main member 201 and the support 30 hinged thereto can be rotated by 0° to 360° relative to the mounting piece 101.

Preferably, as shown in FIG. 4, both ends of the first connecting part 2012 are provided with gaskets 202, and the two gaskets 202 are located on both sides of the mounting piece 101 respectively, so that the stability of the connection between the first connecting part 2012 and the mounting piece 101 can be improved.

Preferably, as shown in FIG. 4, a sleeve 2031 is sleeved outside the rotating shaft 203, and the sleeve 2031 is adapted to the second connecting part 2013. This design can facilitate the rotation of the rotating shaft 203 to enhance the damping, thereby improving the service life.

Preferably, the fit between the sleeve 2031 and the second connecting part 2013 is transition fit, and the tolerance of transition fit is preferably H6/k5. When the external force is less, there is a certain friction between the sleeve 2031 and the second connecting part 2013 to avoid the rotation of the sleeve 2031, and when there is a certain external force, the sleeve 2031 can be rotated relative to the second connecting part 2013 by the external force, so that the support 30 can be rotated at any angle relative to the connecting main member 201. Thus, when the electronic device is supported by the support 30, the electronic device can be inclined at various angles.

Preferably, as shown in FIG. 5, the connecting main member 201 at both ends of the second connecting part 2013 is further provided with a joining part 2014, the hinged end of the support 30 is provided with a limiting part 301 adapted to the joining part 2014, and the limiting part 301 is matched with the joining part 2014 for limiting the rotation angle of the support 30 relative to the connecting main member 201.

Preferably, as shown in FIG. 5, the joining part 2014 includes a first limiting surface 20141 and a second limiting surface 20142 located on both sides of the second connecting part 2013. The limiting part 301 is fan-shaped and includes a first side surface 3011 and a second side surface 3012 on both sides of the fan-shaped surface. When the angle between the support 30 and the connecting main member 201 is 0°, the first side surface 3011 abuts against the first limiting surface 20141. When the angle between the support 30 and the connecting main member 201 is 85°, the second side surface 3012 abuts against the second limiting surface 20142. Thus, the inclination angle of the support 30 relative to the connecting main member 201 is limited to 0° to 85°.

Further speaking, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the connecting main member 201 further includes a sealing part 2015, an elastic sheet 204 is arranged in the sealing part 2015, one end of the elastic sheet 204 abuts against the surface of the mounting piece 101, and a plurality of protrusions 205 circumferentially arranged uniformly are provided on the mounting piece 101 at the position corresponding to the elastic sheet 204. The protrusion 205 adjacent to the elastic sheet 204 is parallel or nearly parallel to the elastic sheet 204. When the connecting main member 201 rotates, the elastic sheet 204 rotates accordingly, and when the elastic sheet 204 rotates, it touches the protrusion 205 and makes a mechanical click sound. Therefore, when the connecting main member 201 rotates, it has a sound prompt, and this sound has the effect of relieving mental stress.

Preferably, as shown in FIG. 8, the elastic sheet 204 comprises a parallel part 2041 parallel to the mounting piece 101, a vertical part 2042 perpendicular to the mounting piece 101, and a bending part 2043 connecting the parallel part 2041 and the vertical part 2042. The parallel part 2041 may be fixed in the sealing part 2015 of the connecting main member 201 by means of riveting. The lower end of the vertical part 2042 abuts against the surface of the mounting piece 101. The bending part 2043 connects the parallel part 2041 and the vertical part 2042, which can improve the elasticity of the elastic sheet 204. This facilitates the rotation of the elastic sheet 204 along with the connecting main member 201.

Preferably, the cross section of the protrusion 205 is arc-shaped. This may prevent the protrusion 205 from jamming the elastic sheet 204.

Preferably, as shown in FIG. 10, the free end of the support 30 is recessed inward to form an accommodating groove 302, a movable blade 40 is arranged in the accommodating groove 302, a sealing cover 401 is arranged outside the blade 40, and the sealing cover 401 is used to cover the blade 40.

Preferably, as shown in FIG. 11, the sealing cover 401 is slidably connected with a slider 402, the slider 402 comprises a sliding part 4021 slidably connected with the sealing cover 401, a fixing part 4022 extending from the middle of the sliding part 4021, and an abutting part 4023 extending from the upper side of the sliding part 4021, and the fixing part 4022 is used to fix the blade 40. The sealing cover 401 is internally provided with a fixed shaft 4011, and the outer side of the fixed shaft 4011 is sleeved with a torsion spring 403, one protruding end of the torsion spring 403 penetrates through a through via at the center of the abutting part 4023, and the other protruding end abuts against the inner wall of the sealing cover 401.

When an external force is applied to push the slider 402, it overcomes the elastic force of the torsion spring 403, and the slider 402 drives the end of the blade 40 to extend outward, so that the blade 40 can be used for cutting external objects, for example for unpacking parcels. When the external force disappears, the elastic force of the torsion spring 403 brings the blade 40 into the accommodating groove 302 to prevent the blade 40 from being exposed.

The sealing cover 401 may be connected with the support 30 in a snap-fit manner.

Preferably, as shown in FIG. 6, a threaded boss 3021 protrudes from one end of the accommodating groove 302 and a recessed buckle platform 3022 protrudes from the other end. The sealing cover 401 is provided with a threaded hole corresponding to the threaded boss 3021 and a raised buckle 4012 corresponding to the recessed buckle platform 3022, and the threaded boss 3021 is connected with the threaded hole by a bolt. The raised buckle 4012 snaps into the recessed buckle platform 3022, thereby connecting the sealing cover 401 with the support 30.

Preferably, as shown in FIG. 6, a plurality of arc-shaped platforms 3023 protrude from the accommodating groove 302 at the position corresponding to the blade 40, and the blade 40 may be supported by the arc-shaped platforms 3023 to slide in and out conveniently.

Preferably, as shown in FIG. 11, sliding beads 4024 extend inward from all four corners of the slider 402, and the sliding beads 4024 abut against the surface of the sealing cover 401, thereby facilitating the sliding of the slider 402 relative to the sealing cover 401.

As can be seen from the above description, the present disclosure discloses a magnetic mount for an electronic device, which can conveniently absorb the electronic device through the magnetic assembly and facilitate the installation of the electronic device; after the installation is completed, the rotational connection between the magnetic assembly and the connection assembly enables the electronic device to have various rotation angles. The hinged connection between the support and the connecting assembly enables the electronic device to have various inclination angles. The mechanical click sound emitted from the elastic sheet has the effect of relieving mental stress. The arrangement of the blade increases the use of the mount, and improves the convenience of use.
